Lockdown
A student’s
reflection
and to my everyday commute from
my bed in the morning back to my
bed at night. I gave myself a regular
bedtime and a time to get up in the
morning and though I do not have a
one hundred percent track record of
sticking to this, my quality of sleep
has increased exponentially.
The final aspect was an area of
sports psychology that I was already
aware of – ‘crash cutting’. This is
the process of trying to lose as much
weight as possible in the shortest
amount of time. Whether it be through
dehydration, starvation or sitting in
saunas in a bin-bag, this lesson in P.E
provided me a new angle on sport and
the willingness some athletes have to
resort to such measures.
The lockdown lessons provided me
with a fantastic perspective on how
everything from sports psychology,
diet, and sleep all impact upon physical
and mental health. I attempted my
hardest to heed what was taught and
have now applied my knowledge to
my daily routine.
Coming back to the astro-pitches and
kicking a football is enjoyable as
always, but those lockdown lessons
were arguably more fundamental to
my involvement in sport than scoring
any penalty I could dream of pulling
off.

Sunny Sports Day July 2021
SPORTS / PE
This year we decided that after all the ups and down with COVID-19
and sports the students deserved a sports day. With restrictions
still in place we had to keep it safe and maintain bubbles which
meant a traditional whole school sports day was not possible but
we adapted and moved forward. Forms in year 7, 8 and 9 selected
athletes to take part in track and field events which they came out
to participate in during lessons. This was followed by the year
group coming together for the final races so everyone was able to
cheer on friends to gold!
The 3 days of sporting events, including events in track and
field, were a great success in the sunshine, with students coming
together enjoying healthy competition, socialising, having fun and
supporting each other’s accomplishments.
As with previous years, form groups in each year competed against
each other and the results contributed to the overall result in key
stage 3.
The sports days wouldn’t have been possible without the fantastic
help from the sixth form sports committee and I would like to give
a special mention to; Sean, Tara, Karolina Mucko and Yaseen Khan
who did an excellent job helping to organise and manage events
on the day.
